Chloe clearly wanted to see more of her man, as she was later spotted tying up his vest to fashion a makeshift bikini, to show off his abs.

The couple joined a local boules tournament, a low key sport following what sounded like a gruelling couple of days. 'Today escalated quickly. Some how ended up in @hublot boules tournament after the most horrific fitness session ever. Not a bad afternoon with @tomrees80 and @madeleychloe,' James wrote on Instagram during his day out.

'Naughty hill run almost killed me! @madeleychloe acting as support staff,' the hunk had written the day before, sharing a cute selfie with Chloe during their run.

Chloe told her fans on her Fitness Fondue website that two weeks of holidaying in the likes of Dubai had messed up her regular fitness plan, so it sounded like the South of France fitness sessions was a way to get back on track.

'I haven’t trained properly or counted a single calorie in 2 weeks, I have gained weight, and I am ready to ease myself back into training,' she posted this week.

In a recent interview with Hello! Chloe revealed that she and James got together after chatting on social media.

‘I thought “If this guy is cracking on to me on social media, I’d better believe that I wasn’t the only girl he was doing that to”, so I had no interest in him at first,’ she explained.

Haskell, who plays his club rugby for Wasps, added: ‘I sent her a funny picture of SpongeBob looking glum over a cup of coffee with the message “This is me, still waiting for you to turn up for that coffee”. I think she found that quite cute.’

‘When I saw that James was prepared to make a fool of himself for me in front of his 110,000 followers, I changed my mind and agreed to meet up,’ continued Chloe.

Winning her over: James, who plays his club rugby for Wasps, had to work hard to convince Chloe to go on a date with him but the two eventually bonded over their love of health and fitness

‘We bonded over dinner and green tea at a health food restaurant in central London. When he kissed me goodnight, it was game over.’

The besotted blonde recently thanked her man for defending her against Twitter trolls, posting a sweet message on Instagram after James responded to digs made by tweeters about Chloe's regular selfies.

'When I met him I genuinely thought my #trolls would play the embarrassing parent roll and severely put him off ...But he is as resilient as me to douchebags and man alive am I grateful' (sic),'Chloe wrote.
